Tropical Fever (TF) Panel
The BIOFIRE FILMARRAY TF Panel is bioMérieux's first syndromic panel for the diagnosis of tropical fever pathogens. Applying the syndromic approach to tropical fever gives clinicians the ability to identify six target pathogens in a clinically actionable timeframe.
Current testing for tropical fever pathogens often requires multiple samples, a variety of different methods and can take several days to diagnose. Blood cultures and microscopy are resource intensive with a turnaround time of over 48 hours.1 The BIOFIRE FILMARRAY TF Panel is a fast and easy solution that has demonstrated improved polymicrobial detections over traditional methods.
